Sophia is back (for some.)
Went to BL in Wilmington today (7007) for the 1st time after seeing ad on CL and hearing generally good things about Sophia. Called ahead (always a good idea, right?) , made appointment for mid-afternoon, requested her specifically. Woman I spoke to asked me to arrive 30 mins later, which I took as a good indication things would line up. I arrived exactly on time and was met by a woman in her mid- to late-40s, maybe older, friendly enough but notably unattractive. There were voices coming from one of the rooms and I was quickly ushered into the first room by the door, which had only a couch and some basic furniture in it. A kind of hanging out room. Suddenly the second room door opened and out came a fairly appealing much younger masseuse with a red-pink streak in her long hair. Was that Sophia? (don't know, but she was definitely the better of the two). She and my companion exchanged some serious talk in a hurry and I was steered into the couch room. Door closes, lights down, and in very bad English I was pointed to the couch and told I could have 30 mins only (I always opt for an hour, but this seemed like an appropriate duration considering). Should have left instead, but you know how it goes. I undressed, settled onto my stomach on the couch and realized it was too short so my legs hung over the armrest. Something told me I wasn't getting any kind of therapeutic massage on this day.
She ("DeeDee") started on my back with a bit of oil, quickly got to business and began stimulating the boys, gaining the desired effect. After a few minutes of this I turned over and was allowed some UTC roaming up top (not much there so I stopped). A good amount of baby oil was applied and the HR process began. Had to slow her down as it was all too mechanical. To my surprise she began a decent BBBJ (was surprised because there was baby oil there). Both techniques applied simultaneously quickly worked. BBJCIMTC (spit). She left and returned with a hot towel and helped clean me up). I can't say it was terrible; it was ok (if very fast) , but the combination of room and masseuse change, hurry-up technique, and unappealing atmosphere makes it a definite no repeat. I was back in my car exactly 18 minutes after entering. Damage. 45 (base rate for 30) +.35. Got a look from her after counting it out in front of me like WTF, but I thought I was overly generous given the circumstances.
